Ok, Travis, I can see how there are some exceptions to the rule.

I suppose a diagnosis of 1.5 is much like the doctor saying you have a virus or prescribing antibiotics when they really don't know what the problem is. It happens quite often.

To echo some others, a type 1 is a type 1, a type 2 is a type 2 and, believe it or not, a type 1.5 is a type 1.5. At the risk of echoing Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?"
